🎙️ Why AI-narrated audio matters
Free tier uses your device's built-in text-to-speech for trail overviews. Cumbre unlocks pre-generated AI-narrated MP3s — a warmer, more natural narrator voice that turns 7-mile switchbacks into a guided experience across geology, ecology, flora/fauna, and human history.
🧠 Ambient intelligence, explained
Cumbre's POI system runs quietly in the background during navigation. As you approach a geological feature, old-growth grove, or historic site, the app speaks first — no screen-checking required. Tap any waypoint to dig deeper.
🛟 Send-my-Route — peace of mind for solo hikes
Cumbre users designate trusted contacts and set an ETA each hike. Contacts get a live tracking link they can watch from anywhere, and an automatic email if you're overdue. Background GPS keeps the link alive even with your phone in your pack.
📶 Offline Maps for the backcountry
Cumbre users can download entire national or state parks before heading into territory with no cell service. The basemap and trail data live on your phone until you delete them.
🆓 One week free trial
Try every Cumbre feature for seven days, on us. Cancel anytime through the App Store; you won't be charged if you cancel before the trial ends.
↕️ Cancel anytime
Monthly and annual subscriptions both auto-renew through the App Store. Cancel anytime in your subscription settings — your hike history, reviews, and contacts always stay with you.
